Text 3

Text 5
M: It is a pity that you missed the art exhibition.

Text 6
W: Is there any way I can get to Los Angeles as soon as possible My flight from New York didn’t arrive on time, so I missed my connecting flight.

W: As long as it gets me to Los Angeles in one piece, I’ll take it. Would there be any extra charge

M: Mary, what do you usually have for American breakfast
W: I usually have bread, fried eggs and a cup of coffee for it. What about you, Paul

W: More and more young people in China have come to like the Western breakfast. They think it’s very convenient and good for health.

W: No, we usually wait for dinner. It’s the biggest meal of the day. All the members of the family come home and sit together to enjoy their dishes.

M: Some time this week if possible. I guess he will be away the following week.
W: Yes, that’s right. He will be on holiday for a fortnight.
M: Well, I need to see him before he leaves. So would Wednesday be okay
W: Wednesday Let me see. He’s out of office all morning. But he’s free in the afternoon, after about three.
M: Three o’clock is difficult. But I could make it after four.
W: So shall we say 4:15 Wednesday this week, in Mr Hibberd’s office

W: Okay, then. Bye.

M: Hi, Linda.
W: Hi, James. What are you doing in the mall I thought you said you avoid these places. And here you are.
M: Oh, I still do it but it’s my roommate’s birthday tomorrow and I am looking to get him a present. He’s not exactly the easiest person to find a present for.
W: Have you any idea what to get
M: Not really. You know, I hate buying gifts for somebody because they can never be perfect.
W: Perhaps you are trying too hard to get something very impressive or decorative. I always think a gift should be practical. Why don’t you think of something he might like or something that he will most likely get soon
M: Oh, I know. His backpack is worn out. Maybe I should get him a backpack instead.
W: Here you go. It sounds like a perfect gift.
M: Gosh, now I am wondering which colour I should pick. He is really particular about the colour.
W: That’s not difficult. What was the colour of the last one he chose He obviously chose it for a reason.
Text 10
W: OK, everyone. The first thing we are going to do today is take some dirt and put it into our pots. Add enough into the pot so that it is about halfway full. There will be a little mark on the pot where the halfway point is. Make sure the dirt is loose so that the seed will have room to push out its roots. Next, you will make a little hole about three inches deep that is about the length of your finger. Place the apple seed inside the hole, and cover it up. The last bit of the process we will do today is water the seed. Be careful not to use too much water or you would hurt the tree before it even grows! I count to three as I am pouring. That should be enough water for now. The next step is patience! At first, you will want to put the pot inside for the first few months. Having it safely inside will keep away animals who want to eat it. You will also want to keep it close to a window to make sure the tree is getting a lot of sun. You should water your plant twice a day. On average, the tree will be ready to go outside in around three months.

25.C　推理判断题。根据第三段“Music taps into our implicit memory (内隐记忆), linking us to past experiences and emotions without the need for conscious awareness.

As time went by, they made fires inside the caves where they lived and did so without a fireplace or a chimney.”(至少40万年前,营火成为主流,因为早期人类将其作为一种生存手段。随着时间的推移,他们在他们居住的洞穴里生火,而且没有壁炉或烟囱。)可知,穴居人使用火的方式随着时间的推移而发展。故选D。
29.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘When you make a fire in an enclosed space, there is a danger of breathing in smoke. And in many cases, it doesn’t allow one even to stay near the fire because of smoke,’ said Ran Barkai, an archaeologist at Tel Aviv University.”(特拉维夫大学的考古学家Ran Barkai表示:“当你在封闭的空间生火时,存在吸入烟的危险。在许多情况下,由于烟的存在,甚至不允许人们待在火附近。”)和第四段中“So how did Neanderthals do it Barkai and his team were determined to find out. They built a virtual model of the Lazaret Cave on France’s Mediterranean coast—a place early humans called home 170,000 years ago.”(那么穴居人是怎么做到的呢 Barkai和他的团队决心找到答案。他们在法国地中海沿岸建造了一个拉扎雷特洞穴的虚拟模型,这里是17万年前早期人类称之为家的地方。)可知,Barkai的团队建立一个拉扎雷特洞穴的虚拟模型是为了了解穴居人如何在封闭的地方使用火。故选D。
30.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the middle of the cave is the best place if you wish to avoid as much smoke as possible…”(如果你想尽量避免烟,洞穴的中央是最好的地方……)可知,早期穴居人在洞穴的中间部分生火来避免烟。故选C。

32.B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He wasn’t objecting to any particular claim I’d made—he was offering a strategy for pursuing better science, and for encouraging others to do the same.”和第三段中的“Beginning, instead, from the assumption that you are wrong, a criticism is easier to be viewed as a helpful pointer, a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong—a goal that your critic probably shares.”可知,Nosek提出的这条建议是一个追求更好的科学的策略,从假设自己错了开始,就会更容易接受批评,让自己减少错误,由此可推测出,Nosek提出这条建议是为了提醒作者对批评持开放态度。故选B。

第二节
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。本篇主要讲了探索自己的内心世界对自己的重要性,列举了一些探索自己内心世界的方法,并解释了为什么这些方法可以带来更好的人际关系。
36.C　根据上文“Have you found focusing on yourself is at the bottom of the to-do list, because you feel everyone else in your life comes first ”和下文“…to get to know yourself in order to understand yourself.”可知,上文提到人们总是把别人放在第一位,而忽略了自己。下文建议人们了解自己。故C选项“我们在自己身上花时间总是被人看不起。”符合语境,故选C。
37.G　根据上文“This isn’t just about identifying your favourite outfit, haircut or flavour of ice cream.”可知,关注自己不应该只停留在表面,而要关注更深层次的内心世界。本句与上文构成转折,指出关注自己的真正含义。前一句的“This isn’t just about identifying…”和G选项“It’s about understanding…”构成句法上的转折关系。故G选项“这与了解你的内心世界,以及你如何适应外部世界有关。”符合语境,故选G。
38.F　根据上文“There are many tools to help you develop a deeper sense of yourself, including journaling and other forms of creative expression. You can use a guided journal to explore your thoughts and feelings or just free write whatever comes to mind. It’s up to you what you want to do.”可知,本段在陈述写日记能够更好地探索你的内心世界,但是仅仅专注于写日记就好, 不要去批判日记中自己的想法。上文中的journaling与F选项中的writing构成同义替换。故F选项“但是尽量不要陷入对你写作的批评或评判中。”符合语境,故选F。
39.D　根据后文“Take note of how you respond to people, what makes you happy, and what makes you unhappy. This can help you identify patterns that are holding you back, such as feeling insecure or being easily angered. Once you’ve identified these patterns, you can work to change them.”可知,本段是在陈述关注自己内心世界的另外一种方法,D选项中的another way是关键信息,且与后文呼应。故D选项“另一种方法是在不同情况下观察你的行为。”符合语境,故选D。
40.E　根据上文“An often overlooked yet very important factor in self-discovery is having healthy boundaries in your personal life.”以及后文“Clearly communicating your boundaries is also a way to show others that you are in control of your own behaviour and can expect the same from them. This is a sign of maturity and respect, two characteristics that are key to having healthy relationships.”可知,前文陈述要有一个健康的界限,后文则提及清楚地传达自己的界限意味着你能够很好地控制自己的行为并且也希望别人能够控制好自己的行为,这种行为能够既关注自己也关注别人,故E选项“它能让你专注于自己的需求,同时也不会忽视他人。”符合语境,故选E。

One possible version:
Students’ voluntary work in a community
Last Saturday witnessed a voluntary activity organized by the Students’ Union in the nearby community themed “Step into the Community, Serve Everyone”, which was well received by the neighbourhood.
The event was filled with meaningful activities. The voluntary work started from nine o’clock,lasting for three hours. Upon our arrival at the local community centre, we began to conduct different tasks. Not only did we clean public spaces, but also we assisted the elderly with their daily tasks. Additionally, we organized a health awareness campaign, educating residents on healthy living habits.
All the students involved participated with great enthusiasm. I deeply realized the significance of community engagement and the fulfillment voluntary work brought.

【思路点拨】 文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了高中生Sarah对烘焙充满热情,她梦想有一天能开一家自己的烘焙店。为了提高技能和获得实践经验,她每周六都会在一个公园设立一个小摊位,出售自制的曲奇和蛋糕。一天,她注意到一位忧郁的老妇人独自坐在公园的长椅上陷入沉思。Sarah给老人端来一杯茶和一块巧克力蛋糕,并开始与之交谈。老妇人介绍她自己为威尔逊夫人,退休前是一名烘焙师,自从一星期前丈夫因癌症去世后她一直独居,来公园是她躲避孤独的方式。Sarah倾听着威尔逊夫人的故事,内心深受触动。
【详解】
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Sarah决定帮助威尔逊夫人摆脱困境。”可知,第一段可描写两人因烘焙而建立了联系,并且随着两人之间对话和互动更加频繁,关系进一步深化。
②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移,她们难以置信的友谊在公园引起了注意。”可知,第二段可描写Sarah的善举引发了人们的关注,越来越多的人付出爱心,关爱孤独的威尔逊夫人,并且Sarah的烘焙能力得到了大家的认可,最终她成功拥有了一家自己的烘焙店。
2. 续写线索:Sarah决定帮助威尔逊夫人—威尔逊夫人的悲伤逐渐消除—威尔逊夫人给Sarah分享烘焙经验—威尔逊夫人得到更多关爱—Sarah最终开了烘焙店
One possible version:
Sarah decided to help Mrs Wilson out. Every Saturday, as Sarah saw Mrs Wilson (时间状语从句), she would treat Mrs Wilson to her desserts generously and chat with Mrs Wilson in order to comfort the elderly woman and make Mrs Wilson feel she was cared about (宾语从句). Influenced by Sarah’s kindness (过去分词作状语),Mrs Wilson gradually worked through her sorrow. While enjoying Sarah’s desserts (状语从句的省略结构), Mrs Wilson shared her baking stories and valuable baking experience without reservation with Sarah and offered her tips on opening a bakery after knowing Sarah’s dream.
Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park. Sarah’s small table was not merely a place to buy desserts; it turned into a symbol of caring for the elderly. Mrs Wilson, once a lonely woman, found herself being surrounded by a group of new friends (find+宾语+宾补), whose company helped her get out of loneliness (定语从句). Assisted by Mrs Wilson (过去分词作状语), the small table has grown into a shop. Sarah’s bakery has been on the up and up with a constant stream of visitors, who are attracted by both the lovely smell and the moving story (定语从句).单元素养测评卷(一)

For people living with dementia (痴呆), a new programme offers a supportive path to building social connections and reducing loneliness through music. Led by the Institute for Therapy through the Arts, Musical Bridges to Memory (MBM) is a 12-week programme designed to bridge relationships between people with dementia, their families, and the greater community that serves them through live musical interactions, training, and research in music-based approaches.
MBM involves participants in weekly sessions, which include interactive performances and training in communication skills to improve caregivers’ relationships with loved ones living with dementia. According to a 2022 study that examined MBM’s impacts, this music-based therapy (疗法) can increase social engagement between caregivers and their loved ones despite ongoing declines in cognitive (认知的) health.
Research shows people with dementia benefit from interventions that control their preserved cognitive and functional abilities. Music taps into our implicit memory (内隐记忆), linking us to past experiences and emotions without the need for conscious awareness. This is especially true for music that is personally meaningful to us, such as a favourite song, which can promote brain plasticity and cognition.
Neurologist Dr Ronald Devere notes, “Musical understanding, musical emotion, and musical memory can survive long after other forms of memory and cognitive function have disappeared.” Even as cognition declines, music can help to promote connection and shared communication—making it an efficient tool to support people with dementia.
In addition to improving communication, MBM positively impacts mood and alleviates the caregivers’ burden. Caregivers who participated in this programme reported significant reductions in distress (痛苦) as a result of improved communication through music. In short, the programme’s positive health impacts extend beyond individuals with dementia to their families and loved ones because it facilitates communication and social connection, particularly in cases where verbal language is no longer possible.
These findings add to decades of research that demonstrates music can positively impact our health, and they provide further insights into the benefits of the MBM programme for people with dementia and their caregivers. They also correspond with other community-based interventions to use music to promote healing.

Next time you hear people say that Neanderthals (穴居人), an extinct type of man living in Europe in the Stone Age, aren’t so bright, tell them this story.
At least 400,000 years ago, campfires went mainstream as early humans used them as a means of survival. As time went by, they made fires inside the caves where they lived and did so without a fireplace or a chimney.
This is no easy skill. “When you make a fire in an enclosed space, there is a danger of breathing in smoke. And in many cases, it doesn’t allow one even to stay near the fire because of smoke,” said Ran Barkai, an archaeologist at Tel Aviv University.
So how did Neanderthals do it Barkai and his team were determined to find out. They built a virtual model of the Lazaret Cave on France’s Mediterranean coast—a place early humans called home 170,000 years ago. The scientists placed 16 fireplaces throughout the cave and studied where the smoke went. “In the middle of the cave is the best place if you wish to avoid as much smoke as possible,” said Barkai. As it happens, the middle of the cave is exactly where prehistoric people put their fires for generations.
Barkai said there was a bit of trial and error involved. “It’s clear to us that Neanderthals made a survey of the cave once they entered and invited a Neanderthal internal designer. And then they decided where they put the kitchen, the sleeping area and so on,” he said.
Sarah Hlubik of George Washington University wasn’t involved in the study but called it clever. “The experiment illustrates how early humans used their intelligence to deal with a punishing climate. What I want most is to take a look at other sites that have relatively complete and undamaged caves and see if the practice supports their conclusion,” she said.
(　)28.What can we know from Paragraph 2
A.Neanderthals used a fireplace in a unique way.
B.The caves where Neanderthals lived had a chimney.
C.Neanderthals relying on campfires breathed in much smoke.
D.The way Neanderthals made use of fires developed over time.
(　)29.Why did Barkai’s team build a virtual model of the Lazaret Cave
A.To choose the perfect place for the 16 fireplaces.
B.To study prehistoric humans’ hobbies and habits.
C.To research what materials Neanderthals burnt to make fires.
D.To find out how Neanderthals used fires in a blocked place.
(　)30.How did early Neanderthals avoid smoke when making fires
A.By keeping the fires away from the bedrooms.
B.By putting the fires at the entrance of the cave.
C.By making fires in the central part of the cave.
D.By making some holes in the cave to let smoke out.
(　)31.How did Sarah Hlubik evaluate the experiment
A.Its results seemed to be quite believable.
B.Its results needed more supporting evidence.
C.Its results were not as reliable as she had thought.
D.Its results were the same as some other studies had revealed.

At a conference last week, I received an interesting piece of advice:“Assume you are wrong.” The advice came from Brian Nosek, a fellow psychology professor. He wasn’t objecting to any particular claim I’d made—he was offering a strategy for pursuing better science, and for encouraging others to do the same.
To understand the context for Nosek’s advice, we need to take a step back—to the nature of science itself. Despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method. Just as scientific theories change, so do scientific methods.
Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires. But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks, and for scientific arguments to develop into personal battles. Beginning, instead, from the assumption that you are wrong, a criticism is easier to be viewed as a helpful pointer, a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong—a goal that your critic probably shares.
Nosek’s advice may sound pessimistic, but it’s not so foreign to science. Philosophers of science sometimes refer to the “pessimistic meta-induction (元归纳)” on the history of science: all of our past scientific theories have been wrong, so surely our current theories will turn out to be wrong, too. That doesn’t mean we haven’t made progress, but it does indicate that there is always room for improvement—ways to be less wrong.
I like the advice because it builds in an awareness of our limitations and readiness to accept the unknown (“There are things I do not know!”) along with a sense that we can do better (“There are things I do not know yet!”). It also builds in a sense of community—we’re all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right. Perhaps the focus on a shared goal—our goal as scientists and humans of being less wrong—can help make up for any harm in scientific motivation or communication.
(　)32.Why did Nosek send the advice
A.To express opinions about the author’s claims.
B.To remind the author to be open to criticism.
C.To encourage the author to take up science.
D.To better the author’s understanding of psychology.
(　)33.How does assuming you are wrong help
A.It motivates scientists to make efforts.
B.It addresses personal attacks and conflicts.
C.It sets a constructive improvement goal.
D.It contributes to a deeper insight into yourself.
(　)34.What does the author think of science theories
A.Dynamic. B.Testable.
C.Pioneering. D.Well-established.
(　)35.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Accept the unknown
B.Aim to be less wrong
C.Get engaged in psychology
D.Dig into the nature of science

Students’ voluntary work in a community


第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sarah, a high school student, had a great passion for baking. With her parents’ support, Sarah dreamed of opening her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience.
Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Sarah to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colourful home-made cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell.
On a particularly bright and sunny afternoon, as Sarah was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Sarah noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Sarah. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favourite, and approached the woman.
“I thought you might like some snacks,” Sarah said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face.
A little shocked, Sarah asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs Wilson, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Sarah listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Sarah decided to help Mrs Wilson out.


Paragraph 2:
Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park.
